Saying you can't lie in an interview is like saying As a sales agent, you can't lie to your customers... Who will patronise you?? 1 Like 1 Share |

As much as you can defend the lies to get the job, then it is just nothing but a lie. After getting the job, then you can keep the lie on a low key. 1 Like 1 Share |

Getting what you do not deserve through lies, however you choose to paint it, is dishonesty. I wouldn't advise this. It's better to be sure-footed that you can't be caught out, than maintain an iota of doubt because you know what you did. |

Dont do outright lies e.g. Age or non-existent positions that are easily verifiable. But I recommend "sensible" exaggerations. Most people do that |

I went for an Interview as an Accountant in sometimes around 2014, I had used my boss(who is a Chartered Accountant) format for my CV, I put "ACCA in View" when I didn't registered for ICAN yet, I added some managerial work to my Job descriptions just to look experienced to my interviewers. I was the last candidate they called for the oral interview on that fateful evening in Doctor Brown around Ikosi,Ketu. I have been answering their questions well until one dark brother like this asked me my ICAN registration number,my eyes turn red and the fear set in into my heart , I started begging for ground to open and swallow me, I was embarrassed when I later come up that I actually planing to register for the next coming ICAN. They adviced me to go back and edit my CV and I must not lie on my CV again if I'm ready to get a good job in future. Don't lie if u can't defend it 13 Likes 2 Shares |

There are things you can't lie about on your CV o. Like your true qualifications. If you're found out, even after 20 years of "meritorious service" they can sue you for every penny you collected as salary. |

I exaggerated on my CV for this current job tho. I dont kno if it was helpful but then it was cool seeing d man staring at my CV to see that i had 2yrs exp at UAE when ive never even been on a flight b4. But then i have enough exp and studied enough to defend it tho. Thats cuz ive read, watched many videos and shit about the job specifications. Now level don change and i give God d glory. 7 Likes |

livebyday: Will you shut up? You think every job requires you to sit in front desk and be ticking registers ? Most jobs require experts. As a software Engineer, I understand why certain roles need to be filled with experienced candidates and not with some newbie whose uncle knows the MD. Just know the right person indeed. That’s how my uncle hired a young doctor who just graduated because of a strong recommendation from a friend and the doctor almost killed a patient 1 Like |
